A reduced number of blood donation sessions in order to cut down on journeys, will be taking place in Gozo in May, organised by the National Blood Transfusion Service.

The Service said that during this difficult time we need courage and to take care of each other, with this in mind Gozitans are being invited to make a donation on one of the dates shown below.

Donations can be made at the  Xewkija Clinic, located in Triq tall- Hamrija, between the Primary School and the Bocci Club.

Sundays – last registration 1:00pm

10th May from 8: 00am to 1:00pm

24th April from 8: 00am to 1:00pm

The Service said that in light of the Covid-19 outbreak it is important to be reassured that when donating blood “your health will not be put at risk.”

Please read coronavirus guidelines before going to donate blood.

The Service advised that if anyone has any questions about blood donation in connection with Covid-19 they are invited to call between 8am until 6pm on 80074313 of 79307307 or for more information. As a basic rule, anyone who is in quarantine can not give blood.
